A Rose by Any Other Name.

Just me playing about again



Four shots of a rose before a camera.






This one's just called Abstract


(Did you spot the photographer?)

They've binned their hobbies
not a stamp album in sight --

  1. I like the way each photo changes the shape and colour of the rose. All the old hobbies which i grew up with have all disappeared which is sad really.

    I started with the intention of sticking to abstracts, but once I had let the rose in it sort of took over!

  4. My favourites are Nos. 2 and 4. I like the crystal bowl(?) in 2; gives new meaning to rose window! And I like the colour in 4. Don't really think I can see you in any meaningful way!
    In todays electronic, video game age, one can't really wonder at the loss of traditional hobbies.

  5. Looks like you enjoyed taking the photos, and your being present in the photo makes you that much more a part of it.

  8. I really like this - the images and the words together - the old time recognisable changed to the cutting edge - stunning as it is - who knows what it could become next..

    Thanks for all that Derrick. The supposed photographer (not me) appears (just the right hand side of her face) left side of the top image.
